o.k. - we'll take the word of an anonymous liberal poster... not.

It's really terrible to tell another poster that what they saw, with their own eyes, is meaningless.

This is why people don't like Trump and his supporters.

So thoroughly dismissive of the feelings and concerns of others.

Of course, now he has to actually do stuff as a follow-up to show he means it to keep that support.

So you don't think that Ryan, McConnell, et al, haven't been spending a lot of time figuring out how they are going to clip his wings once things settle down? His enthusiastic followers may be naive enough to think that he can bully his way getting things done, but does Washington really work like that?

Great ceremony! God bless our new President, and I must say... the new first Lady looks beautiful today.

Who goes after him this afternoon on that? I hear it is Congress that has to file the charge, and then the Senate has to ratify it. Is there one specific individual who will file the charge of violating the Constitution on his very first hour in office?

Thank you for proving my point.

Well you can't blame a liberal for not taking the words of a politician at face value.

...look at who they vote for.

It is meaningless, what she saw does not invalidate that there were thousands of people of color at the inauguration... if you can't figure it, nothing will help you... I don't follow crybaby tantrums with all compassion...
